Greed comes from the love of money and power, which are the roots for all evil. One major cause of greed comes from the government and corporate firms that contribute to their temptation to do wanted is needed for them to obtain wealth and power within their industry. One should ask themselves, is greed destroying our country? The answer would be “yes.” Greed is the fifth of the seven deadly sins, which allows an one to become obsessive and desire to take more than any one person deserves. Once greed consumes an individual it takes over their thought process and rationality to do what is right in today's society. The government is one of the reasons on why greed is destroying the country. Their greed trickles down into our society and are reflected in the bills they approve in Congress. These individuals with the power to create a better atmosphere for all individuals are only focused on their own greed to get ahead in today's society. Their greed causes a butterfly effect that destroys jobs, relationships, laws, and any other aspect one can imagine. For example, Police Officers duty is to protect and serve our communities, however, a cash payment on a continuous basis can turn a blind eye towards crime. This effect causes destruction for all individuals. Nowadays, Politicians can be bought to benefit the desires of corporate firms who are also the one's that provide the desire for them to do or say nothing on their behalf. By supplying Politicians with desirable handouts which are hard for them to resist, especially if they think know one will ever found out about their corruption. They are willing to sell us out by their own greed. We the people suffer and take the drastic fall for their inconceivable decisions. These individuals are titled as such the Mayors, City Council, Governors, Senate, and etc. Their decisions affect lives on a daily basis, so if they are not contributing the needs of the...

...the next three years. He also vowed to improve the force's intelligence gathering and analysis capability and the efficiency of the country’s courts and forensic laboratories, and to enhance the country’s border controls and build new prisons. It is a step in the right direction but it is not likely to bring about a wholesale improvement in the country’s crime rates.
Firstly, South Africa’s crime problem is largely a result of poverty and inequality. Although the country has had an outstandingly successful decade economically, little of this growth has benefited the poorest sections of South African society. Despite a five percent growth in GDP over the past year and significant government investment in housing and infrastructure for the poor, the number of people in poverty in South Africa is increasing, as is the gap between rich and poor. The country’s official unemployment rate stands at about 26 percent and unofficial estimates place it as high as 40 percent. In addition, according to UNAID, although the country is regarded as Africa’s economic powerhouse, over 34 percent of its 48 million inhabitants live on US$2 or less a day. Crime is seen as a means of survival for many in South Africa and a mechanism of retribution for others. While many claim that poverty and inequality are the primary drivers of criminality in SA, there is currently further discussion as to why crime is so frequently accompanied by high levels of violence. Some...

...WHAT DO YOU THINK WOULD BE THE MOST SOCIETAL PROBLEM IN OURCOUNTRY? WHY?
In my opinion, the most societal problem in ourcountry is vandalism. It is because several factors and normally done by naughty and problematic teenagers at the age around 14 to early 20’s. According to dictionary, vandalism is wilful or malicious destruction of public or private property. The problems happens when there is behaviour or action done by people especially teenagers in spoiling the original functions of the public or private property without permission and acknowledgement of the owner. Our communities also labelled them as irresponsible people. There are a few examples of vandalism that we can see everywhere such as spray painting a wall with graffiti, spoil the function of public phone and a damage road signboard. Those actions give problems to our society and also can give a bad image to ourcountry. Relatively, it will give indirect impact to our government performance in handling issues in ourcountry. Here I want to give three reasons why I think it is the most societal problem in Malaysia.
The first reason is when we want to use public facility such as public phone, public toilet and also public transport, especially in urgent/critical time, we can’t use it and it will give a problem to public. It is just because of all the...

...In response to Eric Uthus’ “Text messages destroying out language”.
I found this piece very convincing but I personally do not agree with Uthus. Uthus believes people have a “weaker understanding of correct grammar” and use “little or no punctuation”, which he believes could lead to a decline in one’s education.
One’s diction and ability to form coherent and complete sentences is very important for future job opportunities, exams and in everyday life. In my opinion children and the youth of future generations are not suffering academically due to this newfound skill for communication. They are, in fact inventing and exploring the English language and as a result actually learning more than their fore fathers into the use of grammar.
Children of the digital generation don’t have a problem with language (research suggests that they are actually more sophisticated in this area) so much as they have a problem with etiquette and understanding what works in any given context. But that has always been true of children and teenagers. The truth is that we all could probably do with a bit more civility.
The use of text language is filtering into the school system, as discussed by a practicing Language Arts and Social Studies Teacher, Debbie Frost, “Abbreviations commonly used in online instant messages and text messages are creeping into formal essays that student’s write”.
Not all teachers feel that this new form of communication is aiding in the...

...Is Celebrity Obsession DestroyingOur
Society?
Is our fixation on the famous an escape from our lives?
The pedestal on which we have put movie stars, sports figures, and famous people could give
some people neck strain. We idolize them, follow their every move, and treat them as modern
gods. There is a giant media subculture around the cult of personality. Gossip and news about
the rich and famous is big business. Magazines like People and Us Weekly, TV shows like
Access Hollywood and Entertainment Tonight, and a long list of blogs such as Gossip Girl,
TMZ.Com, and Perez Hilton have captured our imagination. More specifically, the celebrities
on which they report have. These days, there are more celebrity magazines than real news
mags in the United States. Simply go to a grocery store to see how obsessed America is with
our neo-royalty.
In our culture, celebrity news often takes the headlines above world events. We build them up
as modern gods, and tear them down when they show us they are all too human. They make
an easy object of obsession, as celebrities are ubiquitous. And the paparazzi have helped this
craze by blurring the line between private citizens and public persona. When Princess Diana
died, it was in a high speed getaway to escape reporter/stalkers. French courts ruled that
photographers were not responsible for her death, but it clearly drives...

...structure and chemical composition. The adjective cutaneous means "of the skin" (from Latin cutis, skin). In mammals, the skin is the largest organ of the integumentary system made up of multiple layers of ectodermal tissue, and guards the underlying muscles, bones, ligaments and internal organs.[1] Skin of a different nature exists in amphibians, reptiles, and birds.[2] All mammals have some hair on their skin, even marine mammals which appear to be hairless. The skin interfaces with the environment and is the first line of defense from external factors.

...GreedGreed is it the true root of all evil in this world and it has caused so much pain and suffering to humanity. It irritates me so bad it gets under my skin and gets me going. It has caused many world conflicts that I don’t see the point in someone being greedy. From everything that happens in the world, being greedy is that last thing that this world needs.
Everyday someone dies because of someone getting too greedy about his or her money. A perfect example of this would be a Mexican drug lord. The more he gets the more he wants, the more the power of greed takes over him. Because of the drug war, aka greed war, people who have family in México cannot even go visit them without being stopped by a cop and getting arrested because the cops are also involved with the gangs now. It has gone on too long and the more Drug lords there are the more each of them want to take from the others. It’s all a game to them while the people’s lives don’t even matter just as long as they get what they are after, money and power.
More than 700,000 people are believed to be trafficked each year worldwide; some 50,000 to the United States. Trafficking is now considered the 3rd largest source of profits for organized crime, behind only drugs and weapons, generating billions of dollars annually.
Trafficking affects virtually every country in the world. The largest number of
victims come from Asia, with over...

...HOW TO HELP OURCOUNTRY
By Ramon J. Farolan
Philippine Daily Inquirer
Sunday, 31 July 2005
There’s a booklet making the rounds in Metro Manila ,that every Filipino who loves his country should get hold of and read, and hopefully put the points it raises into practice ,in order to help our nation. It doesn’t dwell on a shift to a parliamentary form of government or a federal system ,which are politicians are so fond of talking about as the answer tour problems, or as a way of providing a graceful exit for someone. It doesn’t dwell on the need for an expanded value-added tax, which are financial geniuses have been proposing as the answer to our fiscal deficits.
“TWELVE (12) LITTLE THINGS EVERY FILIPINO CAN DO TO HELP OURCOUNTRY,” by Alexander Ledesma Lacson, may be a “voice in the wilderness”; but as Fr. Rueben Tanseco, S.J. what Alex proposes are “very concrete, practical and doable” actions for us ordinary Filipinos. And the best part is that these 12 things don’t need to be debated upon by our congressmen and senators, reviewed by a bicameral conference committee and finally signed by the President before they can be part of the laws of the land, which may or may not be complied with because our Supreme Court can “TRO” the whole thing; and it may take time to resolve the issue, which then would still be the subject of a possible...
